A company that’s working to build a “renewable diesel” facility near Medicine Hat has added former federal cabinet minister Peter MacKay to its board.
The move, announced by Cielo Waste Solutions on Monday morning, is the latest in a number of corporate announcements this winter from the Calgary-based company that has a prototype refinery in Aldersyde, Alta., near High River.
It markets its process as able to produce biodiesel from organic materials, like municipal trash, used tires, ag byproducts and even railway ties, and sells franchise areas to investor groups, including Renewable U, which is advancing a facility in Dunmore.
